A groovebox with 3rd-gen workflow

Comprising both a pad controller and a software sampler/sequencer, the Native Instruments Maschine Mk3 is the manufacturer's flagship unit: They spent the best part of two years developing this new third generation model. It now offers larger touch-sensitive pads, a high-resolution colour display, and an integrated high-grade audio interface. In addition, the user interface has been completely redesigned for an even faster workflow. The eight touch-sensitive control knobs can be assigned to effects, instruments, sound settings, and contextual menus. Native Instruments' Smart Strip is also phenomenally flexible; this is used for individual fingertip control effects, just like a pitch wheel (to give one example of its many functions). These new features are rounded off with brand new software that will help musicians be more creative and work more effectively. This bundle includes a transport cover made of tear-resistant ABS polymer.

Pads on the Native Instruments Maschine MK3 Black groove production studio

Entirely intuitive

The clear user interface of the Native Instruments Maschine Mk3 is divided into sections for control, editing, performance, groups, transport, and the pads themselves: There are 16 dynamic, backlit pads with aftertouch, which can be used to play both rhythms and melodies. The row of buttons above the pads can be used to determine whether to trigger all sounds in a group, different notes of a single sound, or certain chords, as well as to create and edit events using the step sequencer mode. The browser, arranger, mixer, and sample editor can be accessed in the control section, while the edit section is used to adjust the volume, tempo, swing, and groups.

Creative tool for producers and DJs

This third generation of the Maschine will provide users old and new with a whole raft of production tools, all in one groovebox. And it's not just designed for producing songs, but for live performances too. To add instruments or vocals, a dynamic microphone can be connected to the groovebox via a 6.3mm jack input, and additional external signals can be recorded via the two line inputs (all this material can also be processed as samples). These features serve to make the Native Instruments Maschine Mk3 an ideal creative tool for DJs. The Maschine can be used with a PC or Mac, via power supplied coming from the USB connection; for standalone operation, a power cable is also included.

About Native Instruments

Native Instruments is a Berlin-based company, founded in 1996, which specialises in products for computer-assisted music production. The company develops a wide variety of products: software solutions such as Komplete, which hosts a huge range of virtual instruments that emulate both acoustic and electronic instruments in hi-fi quality, and Reaktor, which lets you create your own virtual instruments – through to hardware products such as beat-making and DJ controllers. Native Instruments' goal is to inspire and encourage musicians with its innovative products. To this end, more than 500 people are employed at the company's headquarters in Berlin and at other locations including Los Angeles, Toronto, Tokyo, London, Paris, and Shenzhen. Since 2023, the manufacturers Plugin Alliance, iZotope, and Brainworx have also been part of Native Instruments.

Unique live performances

The device's performance section offers functions such as Note Repeat and Lock, as well as the aforementioned Smart Strip. Note Repeat enables patterns to be created automatically, while the Lock function can take snapshots of the current settings so they are ready to be reused at the touch of a button. The Smart Strip is equipped with four modes: Pitch, Mod, Perform, and Notes. Notes, reasonably enough, is used when playing notes on the pads; Perform, on the other hand, allows DJs to control any effects they have assigned. To avoid distortion while playing the Maschine Mk3, the device's internal limiter should be applied to the master track. The integrated audio interface can record performances in a quality of up to 96kHz and 24 bit, in addition to which there is a double footswitch (sold separately) that can be connected to the rear of the Native Instruments Maschine Mk3 to control the transport section's Play and Rec functions. The transport cover included in the bundle offers effective protection against dust and dirt.
